My local paper had this piece this morning:
Santa Cruz Sentinel, December 13, 2005
Looking for a Christmas present that not only helps an important cause, but could be the next big thing?
Then you ought to visit the website for Children's Hospice, a grassroots organization that started right in our county and works to provide compassionate, all-encompassing end-of-life care for children.
The organization, founded by Lori Butterworth and Devon Dabbs, needed a way to help raise funds for this important need, so it enlisted Soquel jewelry designer Jennifer Scarborough of Zia Jewelry.
Jennifer created beautiful silver, and silver and braided leather bracelets that carry messages inspired by two children who died. "Only love," says the bracelet inspired by baby Alexis and "Today is a gift - have fun," inspired by 11 year-old Dustin.
.....Actress Melissa Gilbert regularly wears hers, as does Johnny Depp, who chose the silver and leather "Today is a gift" bracelet for himself.
Johnny was so moved by the bracelet's "profound simplicity," he never takes it off.
You can order your own bracelet - 100% of the money goes to Children's Hospice - by visiting
www.childrenshospice.org. Each costs $45.
